Soltius appoints CEO

Nick Mulcahy has been appointed as
Soltius New Zealand’s CEO as the SAP gold partner evolves
with the enterprise software market.

With more than 100
employees and annual turnover forecasted to be more than
$30m this year, Soltius is New Zealand’s leading provider
of SAP enterprise software services and solutions. Nick is a
shareholder and member of the executive team at the
management-owned company and Soltius Board Chairman Dr Peter
Catt says he is uniquely qualified for the role.

“Nick
is a well-recognised thought leader in the New Zealand SAP
community and has driven the strategic vision for Soltius
for the past 10 years. He led the company through the
transition from being a pure consulting services company to
becoming New Zealand’s most successful SAP Value Added
Reseller (VAR), is a highly capable management executive and
is a passionate advocate for both Soltius and SAP.”

Nick
graduated from Massey University with a Bachelor of
Technology, majoring in Engineering and Automation (1st
Class Honours) and started his SAP career at Carter Holt
Harvey before moving into consulting, quickly becoming one
of the country’s top SAP solution architects. He joined
Soltius in 2003 to lead the newly established VAR practice,
and with an MBA from Henley he has held a number of senior
leadership roles at the company.

Nick says the industry is
at undergoing a seismic shift and Soltius is well placed to
take advantage of this transformation. “Trends such as
cloud and mobile technology and the need to manage and make
sense of exponential increases in data are disrupting the
traditional enterprise software industry.

“It’s an
exciting time and SAP is at the forefront with its
innovations in the cloud, mobility and analytics space. As
an SAP gold partner Soltius is leading this move toward
increased business simplicity in New Zealand.

He says
Soltius invests heavily to stay ahead of these changes,
evaluating SAP’s new products for their fit to New Zealand
enterprises and establishing dedicated business lines in the
areas of strategic importance. “As the pace of change
accelerates we will continue to expand our SAP offerings and
bring the right solutions to the New Zealand
market.”
